Plain-English Summary

The bill would require federal agencies to return or properly dispose of mail and packages that are addressed to people no longer working at or living in government buildings, rather than letting them pile up. This aims to reduce waste and improve efficiency in how federal offices handle mail delivery and storage. The measure affects how government agencies manage their mail systems and administrative operations.
